Install software on lab's computers

Once the computers are configured and customized using the playbook setup-computers.yml, required user software can be installed. This is done using the playbook install-software.yml.

Quick way

1. Adjust the content of the playbook install-software.yml to your need:

   ---
   - name: Install software
     hosts: computers
     gather_facts: no
   
     collections:
       - ufrmath.computer_labs
   
     roles:
   
       - role: wol
   
       - role: install_apt
   
       - role: install_lutes_rdp
   
       - role: install_pip
         packages:
           - jupyterlab==3.6.1
           - jupyterlab-lsp==3.10.2
           - python-lsp-server[all]==1.7.1
           - relife
         upgrade: yes
   
       - role: install_veyon
         remove_configurator: "{{ 'debug' not in group_names }}"
         show_all_hosts: "{{ 'debug' in group_names }}"
         install_private_key: "{{ 'master' in group_names }}"
   

2. Run the playbook to install the software:

   ansible-playbook -i hosts install-software.yml
   

Documentation

The playbook install-software.yml uses the following roles:

• ufrmath.computer_labs.install_apt to install apt software;
• ufrmath.computer_labs.install_lutes_rdp to configure the RDP server provided by Sorbonne University;
• ufrmath.computer_labs.install_pip to install additional Python packages;
• ufrmath.computer_labs.install_veyon to install and configure Veyon.

Details

The main steps done automatically by the Ansible roles are detailed in a “manual” way:

• Install apt software

• Configure RDP for SU

• Install Python packages

• Install Veyon
